Hoult: I wept at Watership

ACTOR Nicholas Hoult says he “defies anyone not to cry” when watching the new Watership Down.

James McAvoy and Olivia Colman are also among the voice cast for the adaptation of Richard Adams’ 1972 novel about rabbits seeking a home.

Hoult, 29, who voices Fiver, said: “I remember me and director Noam Murro crying doing the last scene. I defy anyone not to cry.”

Watership Down airs on BBC1 as two episodes on December 22 and 23. INQUIRY Fans yell at Raheem Sterling at match
